The correct Answer is:
Let's solve the problem step by step. ### Question: Express the following percentages as decimals and fractions. 1. **15%** 2. **8(1)/(3)%** 3. **120%** 4. **33(1)/(3)%** --- ### Step 1: Convert 15% to Decimal and Fraction **Fraction:** - To convert 15% to a fraction, we write it as: \[ \frac{15}{100} \] - Now, simplify the fraction: \[ \frac{15 \div 5}{100 \div 5} = \frac{3}{20} \] **Decimal:** - To convert 15% to a decimal, we divide by 100: \[ 15 \div 100 = 0.15 \] ### Step 2: Convert 8(1)/(3)% to Decimal and Fraction **Fraction:** - First, convert \(8(1/3)\) to an improper fraction: \[ 8 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{25}{3} \] - Now, convert it to a fraction: \[ \frac{25}{3} \div 100 = \frac{25}{300} = \frac{1}{12} \quad \text{(after simplification)} \] **Decimal:** - To convert \(8(1/3)\)% to decimal: \[ \frac{25}{3} \div 100 = \frac{25}{300} = 0.0833 \quad \text{(approximately)} \] ### Step 3: Convert 120% to Decimal and Fraction **Fraction:** - To convert 120% to a fraction, we write it as: \[ \frac{120}{100} \] - Now, simplify the fraction: \[ \frac{120 \div 20}{100 \div 20} = \frac{6}{5} \] **Decimal:** - To convert 120% to a decimal: \[ 120 \div 100 = 1.2 \] ### Step 4: Convert 33(1)/(3)% to Decimal and Fraction **Fraction:** - First, convert \(33(1/3)\) to an improper fraction: \[ 33 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{100}{3} \] - Now, convert it to a fraction: \[ \frac{100}{3} \div 100 = \frac{100}{300} = \frac{1}{3} \quad \text{(after simplification)} \] **Decimal:** - To convert \(33(1/3)\)% to decimal: \[ \frac{100}{3} \div 100 = \frac{100}{300} = 0.333 \quad \text{(approximately)} \] --- ### Summary of Answers: 1. **15%** = \( \frac{3}{20} \) and \( 0.15 \) 2. **8(1)/(3)%** = \( \frac{1}{12} \) and \( 0.0833 \) 3. **120%** = \( \frac{6}{5} \) and \( 1.2 \) 4. **33(1)/(3)%** = \( \frac{1}{3} \) and \( 0.333 \) ---
